From Rose Garden to Gravel Graveyard: How the White House Went from Bloom to Doom 🌹

From Rose Garden to Gravel Graveyard: How the White House Went from Bloom to Doom 🌹

For nearly 60 years, the White House Rose Garden was the kind of scenic beauty Jackie Kennedy dreamed of — a colorful legacy designed in 1962 that presidents actually respected (imagine that).

Then 2020 rolled around and Melania showed up like a botanical buzzkill. What was called a “restoration” looked more like a floral recession: crab trees booted, vibrant roses muted into sad, joyless pastels, like the garden caught a case of existential dread.

But wait, it gets worse.

Now it’s 2025, and somehow, they’re back — and they’ve decided that flowers are too soft for their media empire. So, say goodbye to the lawn and hello to gravel, because nothing says “power and control” like a podium set on a parking lot of sadness.

Symbolism? Oh, it’s writing itself:

Bury the trees. Silence the bloom. Prepare the stage for fascism.

Because when the garden looks like a dystopian parking lot, you know the real show is about to start.
